Limburg, The Netherlands. Some of the ancestral names I've researched mostly between the Maastricht area to Schinnen. Some names originate from the Visé area. I'd like to hear from others researching these names.

Walraven

Catharina Walravens (1642-1699 both baptism and burial at the town of St Pieter, next to Maastricht. She was the daughter of Hubertus Walravens (b ca 1608 - 1657, St Pieter). He Married Catharina Vesthens. Hubertus Walravens was the son of Joannes Walravens and Gertrudis Maes who were married at St Pieter, 21 Oct 1590). The earliest know Walravens at St Pieter dates to the first half/middle of the 1500s.
